are hypothesized to form a monophyletic group based on their possession of an enlarged and prominent process of the post-temporal that is almost as long as the postcleithral process, which is considered a synapomorphy. The three species also possess long hair-like epithelial projections on the skin and long tubular extensions of the sensory pores. These two characters are shared with a clade comprising

) have a measurably slenderer body. Therefore, although the numbers of specimens examined are too small for any meaningful statistical analysis, we believe that these differences will hold up once more material is made available and studied. The three species can also be clearly distinguished by morphological differences other than biometrics (see diagnoses), which lead us to conclude their distinctiveness.
